. Specification of Letters Iatent.

Patented Aug. 23, 1910.

Application filed March 25, 1910. Serial No. 551,539.

To all whom it may concern:

full, clear, and exact description of the same Our invention relates to attic windows. The inwardly-opening attic windows known heretofore have the disadvantage that water, snow or the like can readily pass into the attic or garret through the gaps between the boxing and the sash, and no device is arrangedat the same which would suitably lead away rain or the like which runs in.

A primary object of our invention is to provide an attic window which prevents rain and so on penetrating into the attic, it being simultaneously guaranteed that the rain flows away readily.

Our invention is represented by way of example in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a vertical section through our improved attic window, and Fig. 2 is a detail view of a modification.

Referring to the drawing, the bottom strip or sill Z) of the boxing arranged in Well-known manner is substantially lower than the three strips or lintel and jambsb of the boxing, the upper .parts of which are enlarged on the inside. Grooves (Z are provided in these enlarged portions (1. Instead of the enlarged portions provided with grooves inverted U-bars nor the like may be soldered or riveted to the strips 11 as shown in Fig. 2.

The front, bottom strip 0' of the downwardly-opening window frame or sash c rocking around a pivot c is formed a weather-board f which runs along the top edge of the strip 7) and projects over the latter when the window is closed. The other sides. and end 6 of the sash project over the bottom end 6 of the sash and the boxing so that no Water, etc;, can enter here.

A notched bar 2' is pivoted on a pivot z" inserted in the aperture in the roof, and on a lug it" on the sash is provided a pin is which is placed into one of the notches for optionally adjusting the window, while for fixing the window in its closed position a spring-pressed bolt 71, is provided. For protecting the window we provide on the boxing a grate, lattice or Venetian blind Z which can be opened and closed independently of the window, and when closed prevents to some extent the penetration of soot, insects and the like into the attic when the window 'is open.

1. The combination, with a roofhaving a window aperture, of a boxing secured atthe aperture, said boxing having a sill lower than the jambs and lintel thereof having inwardly-enlarged, inwardly grooved upper portions, and an inwardly-opening sash pivoted at the sill and entering into the grooves in-the boxing in its closed position, the lower end of the sash being formed as a weatherboard projecting over the sill.

2. 'The combination, with a roof having a window aperture, of a' boxing secured at .the aperture, said boxing having a sill lower than the jambs and lintel thereof having inwardly-enlarged, inwardly grooved upper portions, and an inwardly-opening sasls pivoted at the sill and entering into the grooves in the boxing in its closed position, the lower end of the, sash being formed as a weatherboard projecting over the sill, a protecting device adapted to be opened and closed independently of the window, mounted on the boxing, and notched means pivotally secured to the roof and operatively connected with the sash for holding the sash in its open position.

In testimony whereof, we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
